Where to begin?
We do our best to try and keep the process as simple as 123, because we understand how hard it can be to know what to do next, especially when you’ve realised that professional help is needed, but aren’t really sure what sort of support would be best or where to find it.
What does live-in care offer?
Live-in care offers continuity, familiarity and confidence.
Live-in care is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to moving to a care home. Live-in care offers older people a high level of independence while keeping them safe, dignified and happy. It also offers good value for money, especially bearing in mind that the support provided is unique to the individual and always delivered on a one-to-one basis.
- Your loved one won’t need to move away from their local community in the town or village they are familiar with.
- They won’t have to be separated from their partner, or say goodbye to a pet they love and are used to having around them.
- Their live-in carer’s time and energy will not be shared with others, as would happen in a residential home, where the resident to staff ratio will typically be 1 to 5, if not higher.
- Staying at home means they can continue looking after their garden, if they enjoy doing that, with someone on hand to help them.
- If you have elderly parents living in one of the remoter villages in the area, a live-in carer will relieve your worries about them being isolated and/or vulnerable.
- Live-in care isn’t just for people living on their own. It can also be the ideal way to support couples, by removing the burden of care from a partner or spouse.
- If your loved one lives with you, a live-in carer will support your care-giving and be there as a companion when you’re at work or out with friends.
- Your loved one can continue to enjoy the routines they’re used to, thanks to the support of their live-in carer, whether that be: going out for lunch, having coffee with friends, going to church, or simply visiting their local shopping centre.
